itunes not syncing new purchases on my ipod nano. Help!

I purchased songs on itunes but it is not syncing on my ipod nano even though my ipod shows it is connected to my Windows 10 computer-latest updates. That is not fair! Could Apple please answer as I am not the only one with this problem?

Assuming that you have purchased the songs and they are not part of an Apple Music subscription, have you downloaded your purchases to your iTunes Library and do the songs play in your library?


If they are downloaded (and play), and you use Sync to manage your iPod, have you included them in items to be synchronised with the iPod? For example, if you Sync selected playlists, artist, albums and genres, the new songs need to be included in one of the categories that you use to sync with the iPod.


If you use Manually Manage rather than Sync, you need to drag the new songs onto the iPod.
